Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Carnitine is necessary to assist in the passing of fatty acids through the outer and inner mitochondrial membrane during the process of beta-oxidation by forming acylcarnitine. Coenzyme A is involved in the transfer of acyl groups during beta-oxidation, but it is not necessary for the transportation of fatty acids across mitochondrial membranes. Palmitate is a type of fatty acid that is commonly used in beta-oxidation. NAD is involved in the electron transport chain, which occurs after beta-oxidation.
